Build webkit error on mac os x 10.9: 'WebKitSystemInterface.h' file not found

Question

When i try to build webkit-r164553 on mac os x 10.9 (xcode 5.0.2), I encounter the following build error:

/Users/justyn/develop/project/webkit/Source/WebKit/mac/Plugins/Hosted/NetscapePluginHostManager.mm:33:9: fatal error: 'WebKitSystemInterface.h' file not found

I have set Products and Intermediates location to WebKitBuild in workspace settings.

Does anyone know why this error happened?

Here is the full log:

I would assume you are referring to the trunk branch. The strange thing is that the bots are green for the revision you have checked out. See it at Apple Mavericks Debug or Apple Mavericks Release .

However, after a bit of debugging, I found that the file WebKitSystemInterface.h is located in <webkit_root>/WebKitLibraries/WebKitSystemInterface.h . Now, during the build phase, this file gets copied over to <webkit_root>/WebKitBuild/<Configuration>/usr/local/include/WebKitSystemInterface.h

I found a hack that copying over the file manually to the target folder gets you past the error. You can try it if you like till an actual fix lands in or someone having a deeper insight into the code helps you.

Let me know if it works for you or not.

Thanks !
